As stated in subject I’m trying to create my first island since The Walking Dead Universe has been added in UEFN. So said I’ve read the IP Program agreement and there’s written that third party resources - protected by copyright - can’t be added to the world.
My question is: free FAB Marketplace resources are included in this restriction? I’m not sure about it so I’m asking before I carry on with my island.
And since that TWDU resources can’t be edited (scaled, recoloured and so on), am I allowed to “create” a new building with those resources? We just have only few buildings, though they’re well made.
I guess not because the agreement says that we are not allowed to edit TWDU resources, in any way: for example, we can’t even stretch or scale a piece of wall.
It mentions ‘Third-Party IP’ (not resources) - So that’s restricting something like Walking Dead + Hello Kitty crossover.
I think the scaling/recoloring thing is more applicable to LEGO things. (Lego bricks have a very specific intended size)
As for custom created unique zombies… If rule 2 was created to “maintain the horror element” I’d like to think that ‘on brand’ custom zombies/walkers could be ok. (Let us know if you end up trying this and get a rejection though…)
I initially was going to say the same because I had recently read the The walking dead rules on the documentation site but I assume Hoellwarth is reffering to the rules that you have to sign on the creator portal which refers to a dissalowing of Third Party Content and doesn’t mention IP. Although to be fair I doubt anyone would get into any actual trouble or takedowns with any fab or third party assets so long as they don’t have branding (eg a supermarket shelf that has pepsi bottles)
Exactly @Mineblo: I’m afraid I didn’t get the point clearly because the agreement, which I’ve read a couple of times, refers to third party assets and not IPs as @Astrotronic was referring at.
Builing a map with just a prison, a couple of buildings and some guard towers I guess not worth it; my plan was to build a map empowering the zombie thing by introducing other assets and by creating other buildings with TWDU resources, though it requires a lot of time and effort; but I won’t go further if this can be vanished with just a click if the map wouldn’t be fully compliant to the agreement.
